Shortly beforehand, detectives were called to the Crossroads Tavern on Ritchie Highway, where they learned that the 50-year-old victim had been standing near Smith's Harley Davidson in the parking lot when Smith came out of the bar, accused the victim of damaging the bike and stabbed him.

Officials said Smith then hopped on the motorcycle and drove away, but he crashed a short time later and was found by officers and arrested. Police said they recovered the weapon they believe was used to stab the victim at the crash scene.

The victim was taken to Shock Trauma for treatment of serious injuries.
